Well I had a good friend   he used to shoot a lot of speed   He was wild and cranky and man,   he was always in the need      But he always just had to do it   But he always just had to do it   Now he's lying there fucked up    and he can not breathe      'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead      Well I knew a good homey   he used to try to run the streets   He was in a gang and    had a lot of enemies      But he always never took no shit   He always never took no lip   Now he's lying there fucked up    and he can not breathe      'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead      Live it up now   Live it up now   Live it up now   Live it up now   Live it up now   Live it up now   Live it up now      Shoot it up    Smoke it up   Smoke it up      'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead   'Cause now he's dead      Now he's dead   Dead   Dead   'Cause now he's dead
